I am afraid..
The thoughts that occupy my mind
Truly terrify me.
You were just yourself,
Beautiful and kind.
A friendly soul that
Only offered gentle words
To a lonely soul.
I am at war with myself..
My heart says..tell her, You MUST!
While my mind says
"FOOL! She doesn't love you that way!"
"You must NOT tell her!"
"Would you risk what little joy you have?"
The scream of anguish from my heart
Is all most too much to bear.
The words I would have told you,
The arms that would hold you
Remain unsaid and undone.
For I am afraid.
